Land Plot for Sale

Plot of building land, nicely positioned on the slope of a hill, right next to the village of Katsikia, only a 5-minute drive north of the tourist town Agios Nikolaos, provincial capital of Lasith (East Crete). From its elevated position, the land enjoys wonderful, unobstructed views of the coastal region north of Agios Nikolaos, the Mirabello Bay and surrounding mountains. The plot is 3503 m2 in size and has the planning permission (allowance) for a house or houses of up to a total of 200 m2 on one or two floors, plus basement and attic. Enough space would be left to make swimming pool(s), terraces, pergolas, parking and garden areas. There is easy road access (concrete road) and access to all services (electricity, water supply, telephone and broadband internet lines). Only 700 meters (on a straight line) from the nearest organized sandy beach. Only a 5-minute drive from the town of Agios Nikolaos. Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the county Lasithi and is located at the Mirabello Bay, north-east Crete, only 40 mins away from the international airport of Heraklion. Geographically the town is well protected from strong winds allowing sea sports and swimming nearly all year round. Although Agios Nikolaos has a population of less than 20,000 it has several banks, supermarkets, shops of every kind, doctors, a modern hospital of high standard, public swimming pool and tennis courts, yacht marina, harbour, cinema, theatre, gyms, a 9-hole golf course, schools ranging from nurseries to 6-level high school and generally all the amenities you would expect to find in a modern European town. The microclimate is one of the best in Greece and the moderate temperatures rarely exceed 30c in summer or fall below 15c in wintertime. This wonderful dry climate together with the natural beauty of the area has attracted most of the high class hotels of Greece to operate here.
